Last night, at NXT Gold Rush 2025, L\u00e9i Ying Lee became the new TNA Knockouts World Champion. She defeated both the current Champion, NXT’s Kelani Jordan, and NXT’s Jordynne Grace. The Angel Warrior made a fighting miracle of bringing the title back home, where it belongs.<\/p>\n
When TNA Head of Talent Relations Tommy Dreamer, alongside TNA President Carlos Silva and TNA producer Jazz, announced her re-signing<\/a><\/span> live at TNA Emergence 2025<\/a><\/span>, it was easy to understand that something was in the making. Her road to the Knockouts Championships was paved. It was now a matter of when, rather than if, it would happen. And it happened last night at NXT Gold Rush.<\/p>\n Since her debut in September 2024, Lee has consistently impressed. She’s never afraid of fighting against both Knockouts and men. She is a true warrior, as Masha Slamovich stated<\/a><\/span> when she gave her a title chance at TNA Against All Odds 2025. Lee is also one-half of the Angel Warriors<\/a><\/span>, alongside Xia Brookside.<\/p>\n The best way to describe L\u00e9i Ying Lee is to quote what Tommy Dreamer said at Emergence PLE: “It\u2019s all about our journeys in life. (…) This young lady came from China, didn\u2019t know one word of English, also never knew what professional wrestling was, and moved across the world to start a brand new dream. (…) She truly represents the Knockouts, her culture, and women in general for her goals, and what they should be, as strong as fighters.\u201d<\/p>\n BREAKING: @TheLeiYingLee<\/a> has re-signed with TNA Wrestling! @THETOMMYDREAMER<\/a> @carlossilva<\/a> @XiaBrookside<\/a> @Phenom_Jazz<\/a><\/p>\n Watch #TNAEmergence<\/a> LIVE on TNA+: https:\/\/t.co\/33dWERG6GX<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/wfQD5nHtz6<\/a><\/p>\n — TNA Wrestling (@ThisIsTNA) August 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nA Warrior Angel<\/h2>\n
